Welcome Back Students!

It's going to be a great year!

Class of 2018:

What an exciting year for the Class of 2018.  I will begin individual college/career appointments with Seniors next week.  In these appointments, we will be setting up your son or daughters Naviance Account, Common Application Account, other On-Line school accounts and check their College Board Account.  Once all these accounts are set up, I will map out for your son or daughter what they need to do for each school that they are applying to.  I will also set up a date for when they want to send their applications.  I will show them how to invite a teacher to write a recommendation for them.  We do ask that in addition to the email invitation that your son or daughter see the teacher to personnally ask them to write a recommendation. 

Please note that some teachers will ask your son or daughter to fill out a resume' or a form that they have designed.
